5a. Weigh In
Posted by: "CLAUDIA" clewing1953@sbcglobal.net clewing1953@sbcglobal.net
Date: Tue Jul 21, 2009 11:05 am ((PDT))

This morning was my weekly weigh in. I lost 2.4 pounds this week, 13.8
pounds in all in three weeks. The weight loss is slowing down, as I
expected it would.

This is the last week of summer semester. I have a final on Wednesday
night and a final in my online class on Thursday. Next semester I
don't have any classes on Monday and Wednesday night for the first
time in three semesters, so next Monday night I am going back to belly
dance classes. I used to go twice a week, for exercise and fun, but
the classes are on Monday and Wednesday nights, so with the classes in
college (getting down to the last two semesters, so am not able to
pick and chose like in the beginning) I had to take I had to stop the
belly dance classes. No excuse not to do it with DVD's. But when I pay
for the classes I go.

Well I like to work out with my Wii

Faye, is there different levels you can start at on that? My daughter
has a Wii and I am thinking about getting the Wii Fitness for both of
us. She is on WW, too.

The Wii fitness is good, but if I were you, I would spend the money on the
EA Active for the Wii, it is so much better then the fit,

Hey i have the Wii fit. The wii fit is set up that u do a small activity and if u excell it will unlock a new game or activity. They are not challanging at all. id say with in the first two months of playing it i was complety bored with it as i unlocked all the games and activitys on it and then its like hrmmm.. i want the other cardio games they have out now but i wouldnt spend ur money on the wii fit. Everyone i know that has it.. hardly ever uses it. The only thing i use my wii fit for now is for its scale since our bathroom one broke.

Although if u really like to play games the wii board is good to have as u can get snow boarding games and surfing games that are fun to play.

8a. recipe

Does anyone have a good WW friendly Oriental or broccoli slaw recipe? I love that stuff with the ramen noodles and sunflower seeds, but it has a ton of oil, which I know I could cut down on, and I'm sure ramen noodles aren't very low point either. I'm craving the stuff, and don't have a clue on how to make it without using my whole point allotment on one dish.

go to recipes.sparkpeople.com and search for broccoli slaw. There are tons of variations and they all have nutrition information, so you can pick one that sounds good. Now you're making me crave it! I'm going to have to stop for some ingredients on the way home! Let me know which one you pick and how you like it.

I don't have a recipe, but I do know that there is a reduce fat ramen
soup out there. It is called Choice Ramen by Nissin. I don't know what
it compares to with the other soups, but the nutrition facts are (for
a 2.82 package) 280 calories, 3 g fat and 0 dietary fiber. I haven't
checked at Wal-mart for it, I was getting it at my military commissary
and they quit carrying it (figures). But since it is summer, and I
don't do soups in summer, I hadn't thought to look. I just pulled the
last package we had of it out of the cabinet to look at it. I was
buying it for my daughter. She says it is very good.
